Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for July 29, 2019

That’s a pretty creepy look in P2

I’m really the daughter of The Joker. Can’t you see the family resemblance?

P1, No, but I play one in a stupid comic strip.

P2, Yeah, a friend of a family I’ve met exactly once.

P3, That’s quite a schoolboard they have in The Valley, an insurance salesman and Carol Burnett.

P2 - Insert the Great Gildersleeve’s laugh.

P2 I aint no genius but I think that was a veiled threat! What is a could be lawyer?

In all reality , And I could be Santa , cut the crap. Go home and put your lawyer pants on and I’ll put you in contact with our school board attorney . Now Git !

Alternative Response: Due to privacy considerations I’m unable to discuss this matter without dated, signed and notarized authorizations from Mr. Ballard and both of his parents. Please include them, if you choose to proceed, with a letter on your official letterhead that states your position and demands. Now before you leave, may I have your business card? I’m not yet inclined to call my friend Chief Jansen and ask him to send his SWAT team over so I can file my formal complaint that addresses your trespassing — but I could be.

P1 – Wow, his cheerful attitude turned about as sour as possible as soon as she mentioned Tiki. And dies he now have a mohawk? And why is he reading his own letter like a book? Who folds their letters that way?

P3 – Come on Carol Burnett, don’t rest your coffee cup on the arm of your chair. You’re just inviting a stain disaster as soon as you nudge it.

P3- Carol doesn’t appear to be a Milford aristocrat with coffee teetering on the arm of her “C” initialed chair and spoon in her lap. Why is it so important to GilPa, having HVB do his dirty work of approaching Milford school board members to approve eligibility of his penalty laden safety?

He should have torn that letter up thus beginning a five month long legal storyline that we have all been waiting for.

Oh, please don’t bring Carol into this!

Wow, Ballard’s expression sure went sour fast!

P2: that expression proves that she’s just another sue-happy lawyer lookin’ for a payout as she forces a school district to defend their position that students actually have to live in the district to attend the school. Tiki himself admitted that they weren’t gonna have the apartment much longer, so that should settle it

P3: “she said she didn’t want to sue us grandma……”

Sue, Sioux, Sault Saint Marie, sooie, soo

MOP, maybe that’s a report card instead of a letter and Tiki actually is academically eleigable

Mr. Ballard looks like he just learned that a man who took out a million-dollar life insurance policy a week ago was in a fatal car crash.

She has kind of a Snidely Whiplash mustache thing going on…

Thursday it was “I should have called, Mr. Ballard.” Friday it was “Thanks for seeing me, Mr. Ballard.” Today it’s “I’m here about Thomas Jansen, Mr. Ballard.” Do they teach you in law school to drop the name of the person you’re talking to into every other sentence?

Just regular folks on the school board. (Carol , Insurance Guy) Why are they gunning for Tiki??

Future GT: Hadley makes them cry uncle; Tiki stays; Tiki later declared ineligible by the governing body of HS sports for wherever MHS is located; all wins of an undefeated season are automatically forfeited; Hadley is back in Chicago by then and doesn’t care

I still say he’s got a mohawk in P1. Could it be Mr. T’s brother, Mr. B? And speaking of brothers, call your brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, neighbors and your insurance agents and tell them to check out today’s Mopped Up Thorp!

Who cares about Tiki? Where is his defensive back brother Ronde?

Hadley should lay off the clown makeup.
